These organizations include Seattle Foundation’s Fund for Inclusive Recovery, which helps meet the needs of people most impacted by the pandemic and Downtown Emergency Service Center, which serves thousands of homeless and formerly homeless people through low-barrier health services, survival services, and permanent housing. The initiative will focus on middle school students, an age group that experiences the highest drop-off in access to play.Īdditionally, the tribe will 'uplift organizations that align with the Mariners Care Foundation’s core areas of focus,' including advancing equity and justice and making its hometown 'healthier and more vibrant.'

The collaboration includes the designation of the property as the team's Exclusive Casino Partner, and will see the organizations work together to impact the Pacific Northwest area.Īs part of the collaboration, the tribe and the Mariners will host five baseball and softball camps, featuring trainers who are former college and professional players, in areas where access to baseball and softball programming has been limited.
